DLMRA

DLMRA DLMRA is dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting Decatur Lake, the Brodhead Mill Race and their surroundings.

DLMRA is working to support the city in its effort to promote and improve the Mill Race. Our organization has supplied manpower and equipment to the race cleanup. We also have supplied manpower to the WAV stream monitoring program and will continue to support these efforts in the coming years. In conjunction with this effort we are starting to plan how to improve the lake and link the lake improvement plans with the goals of the mill race project.

🦇 Wildlife Wednesday 🦇

Did you know Wisconsin is home to 8 species of bats? All of them are insect-eaters that use echolocation to hunt mosquitoes, moths, beetles, and other night-flying insects. A single bat can eat thousands of bugs in one night, making them an important part of our ecosystems and natural pest control for both people and agriculture!

Unfortunately, Wisconsin bat populations have faced major declines from White-Nose Syndrome, a fungal disease that affects hibernating bats. Some cave bat populations dropped by more than 90% after the disease arrived in 2014. Thankfully, conservation efforts and monitoring through the Wisconsin Bat Program are helping researchers track recovery, with some populations beginning to stabilize. 💙

Want to help bats in your own backyard? Consider installing a bat house or planting flowers that attract night-flying insects. Every little bit helps these amazing nighttime pollinators and insect hunters thrive! 🌙

Wildlife Wednesday...
Ah yes… the elusive tween outside its natural habitat. Rarely spotted outdoors and known for surviving almost entirely on snacks and WiFi, this mysterious creature can occasionally be seen perched quietly on a fallen tree overlooking the river. Approach slowly and avoid sudden movements…like a 🦌,one wrong sound and it’ll disappear back into gaming mode for another 3-5 business days 🎮😂

Jokes aside, a short walk outside can do SO much for you mentally and physically! Get out and enjoy it!

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
